>>But if your mother really IS fat, and shouldn’t be eating pizza, is that really an insult? I mean, truth is the defense against slander, shouldn’t that same standard apply here?<<

I do not recommend chancing it.

Of course, my mom wasn’t plus-sized and my thin but well-curved wife, who does 2+ hours of exercise every day, hasn’t gained a pound since we got married 20+ years ago.

But the principle is there: insult someone’s mom/wife at your own risk. Any real man will defend her honor.

Thank you, and I've been there and done it. Won some and lost some, but I at least stood up and challenged it.

I must say that if you really believe killing someone is the proper response to a mild insult based on someone’s actual body shape then you gave either mental or emotional issues, or perhaps both. I guess your mother never taught you the old saying about sticks and stones.
